Unfortunately, after the ruckus caused by the attack had settled down, the tea with Princess Cattleya and the others was canceled. I guess that can’t be helped. From what I heard, it seems that this is the first time they’ve received such an audacious assault on the one who holds the role of Hero’s group, so they need to make adjustments, along with making some revisions for the guard system. Well, the reason for that is just a pretext, and it’s actually because Princess Cattleya didn’t listen to Mitsunaga-kun and insisted on bringing him to see a doctor…… Mitsunaga-kun said he was fine, but Princess Cattleya still seemed to be anxious like the worrywart Lilia-san, as she forcibly brought Mitsunaga-kun away, saying that he should be examined just in case. Even her usually stern words and actions show Princess Cattleya seemed to really care for Mitsunaga-kun, and how should I say this…… Seeing her acting that flustered is making me smile. Anyway, that settles this case…… but unfortunately, that isn’t the case, and I was currently in more trouble than I was willing to admit. [N- No, like I said…… I didn’t receive a single injury at all, s- so can you calm down!?] [……These fools…… tormenting Kaito…… I will kill them.] [No, no, I’m telling you, the attacker was already taken away long ago…… I- Isis-san!? Can you calm down for now……] [……I will turn him into ice…… and break him into pieces…… so that not a single piece of his flesh…… would be left in this world.] [………………….] Yes, currently in front of me was the angry Isis-san, her veins popping out of her forehead, as if she really wants to beat someone up. The magic power of death she’s clad in turned outrageous, as if she’s wielding her sword around with her tremendous fury, and along with her arrival, the people who were around have fled, quickly turning this city into a ghost town. No, what’s worse is that it wasn’t just Isis-san…… As just her arrival might not have turned this situation into something this disastrous…… [That won’t do, Isis, don’t just easily kill him off…… Let’s make sure that he won’t pass out from the pain, and make him “disappear” from his fingertips, a little portion of his body at a time.] [Can you also calm down, Kuro!? I’m telling you, I’m fine!!!] [……As expected…… of Kuromueina.] [Isis-san!? There’s nothing that should be expected here, you know!?] Yes, what’s worse is that there’s also another one here…… Kuro. Kuro also seems to be quite angry, as black mists were spewing out from her body, and cracks are appearing on the ground because of the aftermath of her magic power being released. Soon after Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun left, the two of them appeared, clad with terrifying killing intent and pressed me with the question of where the attackers were. It seems that they threw out the preparations for the Six Kings. I think Lillywood-san who should be near them is probably holding her head in their hands right now. A- Anyway, let’s just put that aside……. Why the heck am I frantically trying to protect the attacker? No, I think I can understand why…… It’s because sending Alice towards them is already overkill, so when these two are added to the mix, no matter how much that guy attacked us, I would start feeling sorry for them. Or rather, if they were this angry, I feel like the attacker, along with this entire city would get erased, so I must stop them at all costs. [……A- Alice! Can’t you do something about them!?] [That’s impossible…… If I poorly stop them, I would just become their target……] [If that’s what it takes, so be it.] [What about me!?] No, I mean, I think that if it’s Alice, she would somehow be able to get away from it…… In the end, it took me a long time to appease Kuro and Isis-san. I was really, really tired…… but I’m glad that I’ve managed to convince both of them to leave it be. [Haahhh…… I’m tired.] [Ahaha, good work over there. As expected of Kaito-san.] [……You really didn’t help me at all……] [Well~~ I’m telling you, that’s impossible for me. The only one who can calm down Kuro-san and Isis-san when they’re that angry is Kaito-san.] [……Haahhh……] I let out another sigh in front of Alice, who was chuckling at the side. Good gracious, I’m really tired. Well, their appearance shows how worried they were about me, so I’m honestly glad about that but…… [By the way, Kaito-san.] [Unnn?] [I think I did pretty well this time.] [Y- Yeah, well…… You didn’t really help me out with just now, but I’m really glad that you’ve protected Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun.] When Alice suddenly changed the subject, I nodded my head in affirmation. Indeed, the MVP of this time is definitely Alice. Not only did she protect Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun, she also protected the guard knights who were in the vicinity of the explosion, quickly caught the attacker, and is currently investigating the one who was behind it as well. If it hadn’t been for Alice, Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun would have been injured…… or even worse, die. The attacker would also have fled in the confusion and disappeared like smoke. I can’t thank Alice enough, and I’m really glad that she’s guarding me…… However, why is she suddenly mentioning that? [Right!? I did my best, you know…… Now then, I’m going to change the subject but……] [Unnn?] [It’s just about time for dinner, you know~~ I’m also getting hungry.] [……………….] [I guess this me who did her best deserves a reward~~ ……Well, this is just me talking to myself though.] [………………..] This f*cking woman…… She’s going around in circles, but in short, because she did her best, I should buy her a meal!? However, well, Alice certainly did great today, so I feel like that isn’t a bad way to thank her. [……What do you want to eat?] [Eeehhh!? Could it be…… Kaito-san!? You’re going to buy me a dinner~~] [Your intentions are so transparent!] [Well~~ I’m feeling apologetic, even though I’m just doing something natural…… There’s a restaurant that serves delicious fish dishes over there!] This shamelessness and annoyingness…… Alice really is the same as ever. Moreover, she even has the nerve to demand going to the expensive, high-end stores. [……Haahhh…… Well, fine. Let’s go.] [Great~~!!! As expected of Kaito-san! The ideal boss who treats his employees well! You’re making me fall in love, you know? I’m fine even if we do it all night, you know?] [I firmly refuse.] [A really powerful and direct refusal!?] Looking at such a hopeless Alice, who quickly started teasing me right after I complimented here a bit, I let out a big sigh again and decided to walk down the dimly lit street to the high-class restaurant Alice had mentioned. [Haghmm, whamuu, omnomn…… Ah, seconds here please!] [……Hey, Alice. Do you know what table manners are?] The restaurant that Alice led me to is indeed like a high-class restaurant, and the fish dishes they serve here looks as stylish as french cuisines. And then, there’s this one idiot here who looks so disappointing, piling up food into her cheeks like a squirrel, as if to say that she doesn’t give a damn about manners…… Sitting on the same table with her makes me feel embarrassed. No, I don’t know much about table manners either, but I can clearly see that this woman’s way of eating is nonsensical. [……Kaito-san, table manners are for those “spoiled brats”, you know?] [……Huh?] However, this idiot is someone who thinks that always being an idiot is the right way of life, as she started to say something with an incomprehensible smug look on her face. [Eating well is the most respectful way to express gratitude to the chef! Eating elegantly is just something that someone selfishly established.] [……Wouldn’t the people of this restaurant be angry at you?] [Ahh, that’s alright. The owner of this restaurant is my subordinate.] [……………….] M- My head hurts…… I’ve thought about this a lot already, but is this really something that someone, who is supposedly one of the Six Kings, should do? [Excuse meeee. I also would like this part of the menu until this part!] […………………….] However, this idiot didn’t seem to mind, and started ordering one dish after another as if she was ordering snacks in a pub. [……Alice, do you know what being reserved means?] [Unfortunately, it isn’t written in my dictionary. Food eaten with other people’s money is the tastie——- Fugyaahhh!?] [……For the time being, I’m confiscating this.] [Aaaahhhh!? My meunieeeerrrreee!?] Haahhh…… Seriously, how should I say this…… She’s reliable in times of need, but since she’s usually like this, it’s quite a shame. Well, I guess this is what makes her Alice, right? Dear Mom, Dad——- Alice is still the same troubling person but……. At least, I was having fun hanging out with this idiot, and being comforted by her presence around me——— I guess it can be said that I’m also weird. Serious-senpai: [……That woman (Alice). I don’t like her……] T/N: 12/146
